EBS @ SWEDEN ROCK FESTIVAL 2013
|
No doubt that EBS is rock'n roll! Evidence were collected at the recent big rock and metal festivals, Sweden Rock and Metaltown, the last just outside Gothenburg, the place of birth of the famous 'Gothenburg' sound! 
Swedens largest event for hard rock and metal, to try turn the ship. Hard and consistent work started to pay off by time, and now the floodgate has been opened! A proof of evidence is that all bands but one on the main stage at Metaltown this year had at least some EBS equipment on stage! 2012 was also the first year where EBS was part of the house backline for three of five stages. With ambassadors like Peter Iwers from In Flames, Jonas Björler from The Haunted (and At The Gates), pedal artists like Lamb Of God's John Campbell or Adrenaline Mob/Disturbed's John Moyer, people slowly starting to get it - EBS is the real deal!
The MusikMesse in Frankfurt may have had less visitors than usual, but it was definitely a successful show for EBS!

EBS launches the EBS Guitar Zone - A Blog dedicated to guitarists with EBS effects!
Since we made the update on the Black Label Pedals to true bypass in 2008, we have seen an exploding interest in EBS effects among guitarists. To meet that and to give some input on the use of EBS effects with guitar, we are now launching the EBS Guitar Zone - a blog dedicated to guitarists with EBS effects! The guitar zone is in its womb and already contain feedback from some of the guitarists that endorse EBS pedals, as well as video clips showing EBS pedals in use with guitar. With time we will implement more resources like soundclips, more video samples and independent reviews. We hope that our customers that are guitarists will share their thoughts and ideas as well!
